Some of the most iconic albums in music history really set the bar high for artists today by holding the record for the longest consecutive reign on top the Billboard charts. These record-setting streaks still remain unmatched today as the top 10 albums with the most straight weeks at No.1!

1. West Side Story – Soundtrack (1962-63), 54 weeks

In addition to having the record for the most consecutive weeks spent at No. 1 on the Billboard charts, the popular soundtrack to West Side Story also won the Grammy for Best Sound Track – Original Cast and was certified triple platinum for being the best selling album of the ’60s.

Regarded as one of the best pop/soundtrack albums of all time by numerous magazines like Rolling Stone and Time, Prince’s classic album featured all original songs written by him and has sold over 20 million copies.

A great selections of songs and soundtracks. I love musicals and so did my mother (she must have seen practically every nostalgic musical ever made dating say from 1920’s to the 1960’s and early seventies I guess).
